Explanation

BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract with MS Consultants, Inc. for the Parsons Avenue Water Plant (PAWP) Sludge Disposal Project, Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1118.

MS Consultants, Inc. was contracted by the City to provide site assessments of three existing sludge lagoons at the Parsons Avenue Water Plant (PAWP), prepare a written technical design report summarizing the findings and proposed solutions, and provide bid drawings and specifications for the removal and disposal of the lime softening sludge from the lagoons. It was the City's intent to have MS Consultants, Inc. perform construction administration/inspection services and post construction site reconnaissance of interior piping and lagoon embankments through contract modifications.

Part 1 construction contract was awarded for sludge removal from lagoon 2. MS Consultants, Inc. performed construction inspection/administration services for Part 1 construction under approved Contract Modification 1.

A construction contract has been awarded for Part 2 of this project and Modification No. 2 is now required to authorize MS Consultants, Inc. to continue construction inspection/administration services for Part 2 construction. Also included in the scope of service for contract modification no. 2 are professional services for preparation of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and an Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection Manual (OM&I) for the Class II Parsons Avenue Water Plant dam structures.
